Job Calendars
It's that time of year already....time to start thinking about next school year! If your 22- 23 school calendar has been approved, you can begin building your job calendars at any time.
Creating Job Calendars Using the Copy Option
The quickest means to create job calendars for the upcoming school year is to use the Copy option. In order to use this feature, one type of calendar should be created. This should be your most common job calendar - for example, the teachers.
To create the new job calendars go to Core>Job Calendars and edit the calendar type.
Using the Start Date and End Date fields, enter the date range for the calendars wanting to be added. Indicate whether weekends should or should not be included when the calendars are created by using the 'Include Weekends' checkbox. Click Mass Update.
Once the days are added, a quick check of the days added can be made by using the job calendar grid.
If changes are needed, use the << or >> to move to the correct calendar month and year.
Right click on the day needed to be changed and select the appropriate type of day from the drop down.
Using the Copy option, other job calendars can now be created.
In the Copy From, select the calendar type just created. Enter the range of dates wanting to be created in the Start Date and End Date. Lastly, move all job calendar types wanting to be created to the Selected side. Click Copy.
Repeat the process outlined above using the job calendar grid to verify the calendar is created correctly and make any changes if necessary.
Job Calendar Report
The Job Calendar Report is a canned report that can be found under Reports>Job Calendar Report. It can be run for a specific date range and all or specific job calendar types. The Job Calendar has recently been enhanced to include the following:
the ability to print the report portrait or landscape
the ability to print mid-month
allow the ability to print a full year calendar on one page
and the option to add an outline to the job calendar report.
Example of a Job Calendar Report- Without Calendar Outline:
Example of a Job Calendar Report - With Calendar Outline:
A 'Configuration' option has been added under the System menu allowing the enabling of external authentication (active directory service) in Inventory. Once this has been enabled, a user's account in SYSTEM>User must have the 'external authentication' box checked in order to use active directory.

Implementing: The ITC is running test imports and balancing reports on the entity. The district and ITC are working to schedule dates to begin dual processing and go live.
Paralleling: The entity is inputting all production transactions into both Classic and Redesign.
Live:The entity is using Redesign for production processing; no parallel processing is being performed; Classic is available in 'read-only' mode.
